Do you practice "kill your darlings"?
Each of my books goes through several self-editing passes before going to my editor, then a few more after that. This being the case, a lot is changed. I rarely delete, just cut and paste into an associated Notes doc where all the outtakes live until I am absolutely sure I won't use them anywhere again. If it's a turn of phrase I like I might alter it and use it in a different book. 😆
